Buttercream Bon Bons
I can't remember exactly when or where I got this recipe. But they have been part of my annual Christmas baking for many, many years now. I really love these for many reasons. First, they're very tasty. Also, they are simple to make as candy goes. But it's also quite a versatile recipe. I've replaced the standard vanilla extract with other flavors to come up with different flavored bon bons. If you want, you can even add finely chopped nuts. The possiblities are endless. Cooking time is actually the minimum necessary chilling time. -- posted by NorthwestGal
